Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson was put to sleep for a massive back tattoo.
The second-year quarterback got a massive tattoo on his back that took seven hours to complete. Four different artists contributed to the tattoo.
It features his last name at the top along with an NFL logo.
“People aren’t gonna like the fact that I went to sleep, but I’ve been getting tattoos since I was 13. I’ve did my time in going through pain,” Richardson told Pat McAfee.

Richardson is entering his second NFL season after he was the fourth pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. He only played in four games during the season before he was lost for the season with a right shoulder injury.
Before getting hurt, he completed 59.5% of his passes for 577 yards, three touchdowns, and only one interception.
If he can stay healthy, the Colts will have a chance of making the playoffs and potentially winning the AFC South, though they’ll have stiff competition for both.
The Colts will start their 2024 season against the Houston Texans on September 8. Kickoff will be at 1 p.m. ET.
